for the next release on galaxiid, we present "carpet watcher", the long-awaited second album from ishome, the project of russian producer and visual artist mirabella karyanova. 

emerging from the far eastern port city of nakhodka, ishome's music has always carried a sense of distance and introspection. her debut album confession (2013) became a cult classic, a fragile, cinematic blend of ambient textures, submerged rhythms and quiet emotion. 

carpet watcher was completed in 2018 but remained unreleased until now. like much of ishome’s work, it was created with no urgency to be heard, a self-contained world suspended in time. drifting between viscous beats and spectral melodies, the album feels like a memory slowly coming into focus. 

from her earliest recordings, mirabella has resisted genre classification. her sound draws from minimal techno, ambient, leftfield pop, outsider art, and the surrealism of soviet-era animation. in her hands, these influences dissolve into something deeply personal, a language of mood and movement rather than style. 

beyond the studio, ishome has performed live across europe and russia, including sets at berghain and signal festival, as well as appearances on boiler room and nts. she also creates under the mischievous alias shadowax, where playful chaos replaces introspection. her audiovisual performances, combining original music, iphone-shot footage, digital collage and hand-drawn animation, reveal the full breadth of her artistic vision. dreamlike, humorous and emotionally direct. 

ishome rarely releases her music, and when she does, it feels less like a project and more like a postcard from a world she’s still wandering through. carpet watcher is the first glimpse into that world in over ten years.

Amal / Ø / 23.11

И не обратились люди в бегство.
Кто-то застыл — с лицом, иссечённым страхом.
Кто-то сгорел, расплавившись в экстазе.
Кто-то исчез, растворившись в безумии.
И в пляске без имени, в круге без конца
они топтали прах мира,
что канул в небытие 
под звуки несущегося хаоса.

Some stood frozen — faces carved by fear.
Some burned, melting into ecstasy.
Some vanished, dissolved into madness.
And in a nameless dance, in a circle without end,
they trampled the ashes of a world
that had fallen into oblivion
to the sound of roaring chaos.
